I would have to say it is real to me, has meaning for me, and just because someone cannot grasp it makes it no less impactful. I cannot understand pyschics but people tell me it is real and I trust them. I hate math but my son is a genius and we argue back and forth constantly...We both had "imaginary" friends growing up, yet that experience was real to both of us. We do not fully understand the human mind and may never.
